Ingredients:

• 1 Tbs chia seeds
• 3 Tbs water
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 cup sweet onion, chopped
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 1/2 cups canned lentils, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup quick-cook oats (gluten-free if necessary), plus more if needed
• 2 Tbs arrowroot starch (or tapioca starch)
• 1 Tbs coconut aminos
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced

Directions:

Prep:

• Prepare chia egg by whisking chia seeds and water; let sit for 10+ minutes to gel.
• Chop onion, mushrooms, and garlic.
• Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Make:

• In a skillet, sauté onions, mushrooms, and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add paprika and cumin and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add chia egg and cooked vegetables to a food processor along with lentils, oats, starch, and coconut aminos. Process until a paste forms, adding more oats if necessary.
• Form the mixture into 6 equal patties and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, flipping carefully after about 20 minutes. Bake longer if needed to achieve a firm texture.

Serve:
Top each burger with sliced tomato and avocado.
